 Welcome
to the website for the Wisconsin Triterium Triathlon. If you
have been looking for a USAT event with a national championship
feel, this is the race for you. This race will utilize a
multi-loop format on each leg allowing racers to know exactly
where they are on the course at all times. It will also allow
family and friends many more opportunities to see their racer!
The venue for this event is Verona, Wisconsin. Verona is just a
few miles south of Madison. In 2002, Verona gained national
prominence in the triathlon community during the Ironman
Wisconsin event. The enthusiasm of the community for triathlon
is unequalled and will make for an unforgettable experience.
